I have a little Brinsea Mini Advance. I looked for "plugs" but dont see them. Do they even have plugs or air vents?

Not that I've seen.. I assume the humiditiy level is controlled by the amount of water you put in it. Only fill half the bowl the first part of icubation, then the last three days fill both sides of the bowl above the divider.

32 eggs set. I have to go to work, so I set them at 8:30am. The brown eggs are either RIR, Buff Orpington or leghorn, with aLavender Ameraucana Roo. 1 ester egger and 2 White Wyandotte w/ the same roo. There is 2 silkies and 2 polish also.

This is an experiment set. The first 12 eggs to the right are 15days old give or take. The silkies and the polish we just got so I'm not sure if they are even fertile.

And that big one in there twins? maybe

Oh and I took the pic right after setting them so the temp is off.

There have to be air holes or the embryo can't breathe.
There aren't plugs, just air holes.

I found this in the Mini Advance manual:
"~Be sure to clean the air vent holes to keep them clear. There are two small holes on the bottom “skirt” of the lid and one on the back of the clear part of the lid above the level of the fan cover."
